Abstract
Let be a Morse function on the -sphere and be a connected component of some level set of containing at least one saddle critical point. Then is a -dimensional CW-complex cellularly embedded into , so the complement is a union of open -disks . Let be the group of isotopic to the identity diffeomorphisms of leaving invariant and also each level set , . Then each induces a certain permutation of those disks. Denote by be the group of all such permutations. We prove that is isomorphic to a finite subgroup of .
